Taller General Red Lara - Panamá
 
Dear friends at REDLARA:
In order to encourage a deeper understanding on Bioethics, and promote a debate about diverse Bioethical Issues concerning Assisted Reproduction, we would like to invite you to take part in this FORUM, expressing your ideas, experiences and opinions.
This space, open to ideas exchange, is intended to enlarge our formation in Bioethics, which in turn will contribute to stimulate programs of Bioethics information and knowledge diffusion in our communities: this will help patients and legislators to take better informed decisions in the genuine pursuit of their own well-being, and the better for all.

POST MORTEM INSEMINATION
The Biologist Eduardo Sanz from USA raises the following consultation:
Ownership of a sperm sample
I have an stimulating question for all the embryo mail folks. In the past few days we received a weird request in our IVF program. A young woman called requesting us to freeze her boyfriend sperm. She alleged that the only available sample was inside of her because she had intercourse with him two days ago, and he passed away after that. This bizarre request raises many doubts among the members of our group regarding the ownership of the sperm sample. The sample, of course, belongs to the man that produces it, but once inside of her, can she dispose of this sample at her will? Can she sign a consent form to freeze that sample to be used in any procedure in the future?

  CONCIDERO QUE NO ES UN PROBLEMA DE ESTERILIDAD NI INFERTILIDAD POR LO TANTO NO PUEDE SOLCITAR SE CONGELE EL SEMEN DE SU EX PAREJA FALLECIDA POR LA SIMPLE RAZON DE QUE EL NO PUEDE NI PODRA EXTERNAR SU VOLUNTAD ENCUANTO A PERPETUACION DE SUS GENES. AQUI PODRIA CABER QUE A LO MEJOR ELLA ACTUA DE MALA FE POR SABER SI SU EX PAREJA TIENE RECURSOS ECONOMICOS QUE ELLA PODRA RECLAMAR ALGUN DIA, POR ESO ES IMPORTANTE TENER EL CONSENTIMIENTO INFORMADO FIRMADO POR AMBOS Y ENTERARLOS DE LA SITUACION. LEIA EN UNA DE SUS RESPUESTAS QUE ENTONCES TODOS PODRIAN HACER LO MISMO YE IMAGINESE USTEDES LA RESPONSABILIDAD TAN GRANDE DE HACER ESTOS PROCEDIMIENTOS A CUALQUIER PERSDONA SIN ARGUMENTAR ALGUNA RAZON MEDICA? CREO QUE LA TECNICA DE REPRODUCION ES ASISITIDA PARO A LA PAREJA CON PROBLEMAS PARA CONCEBIR POR METODOS NATURALES YO LO PENSARIA EN HACER LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS EN ESTE TIPO DE SITUACIONES ESE ES MI PUNTO DE VISTA
